Embodied Interaction
This course proposes an examination and speculation of technologies as they related to Embodied Interaction (ie. mobile computing, wearable interfaces, location-based interactions and digital fabrication...). Its examination covers societal, ethical and social influences.
With more flexible and more accessible modes of fabrication, and with social aspects of fabrication emerging in recent years, we have the opportunity to investigate ways that we can transform our physical selves and environments. During this module, we'll uncover some of these possibilities by designing and informing our bodily environment with personal data.
Design factors may include:
- material intimacy
- processes of fabrication / physical interactions that impact digital fabrication
- data tracking & mapping
- wearability
- performative aspects
